Sit back, relax, and enjoy a refreshing Irish Mule. Irish whiskey combined with ginger beer and a splash of fresh lime juice to create a fun and crisp cocktail.
This Irish Mule recipe is a refreshing twist on the classic Moscow Mule cocktail. It swaps out vodka for Irish whiskey to create a richer cocktail. You can make this drink any time of year, but I like to make it for St. Patrick’s Day because for me it is more festive and fun than drinking green beer.

Step #3: Stir with a cocktail spoon for 15 seconds until combined and enjoy!
FAQs
I like to use a lime slice, or lime wedges along with a mint leaf sprig.
If you are wanting to swap out the ginger beer you can use ginger ale which would be the closest ingredient to give you a similar overall taste.
Storage Information
This Irish Mule is best enjoyed immediately after mixing, because the ginger beer will eventually lose its carbonation. If you need to prep ahead of time I would recommend mixing the Irish whiskey and lime juice and you can store it in the fridge for 24 hours. Then when you are ready to serve you can add the ginger beer and enjoy!
